This was a surprise upgrade as I wanted to utilize barely used 12V motors and gearboxes from the Power Wheels that I put into before my first video. My daughter totaled the car from crashing into the curb, by breaking the front axel off the frame and was pretty much unfixable. I didn’t want the items to go unused so I decided to put them in the bumper car. So, when your child hands you a basket of lemons, you make lemonade!
This gearbox swap was pretty fun to do, and the outcome was way better than I imagined. I believe most bumper cars you buy today are outfitted with 12V motors but if you have an older 6V version, buying some new gearboxes and making this upgrade is a MUST if you want to entertain the kids.
Be sure to subscribe as I might look into putting in a new voltage regulator and 60V battery into the system!
If you have any comments or suggestions, let me know. Enjoy and hope you learn something!
